About Pine Point
The former producing Pine Point assets contain 42 known zinc-lead deposits over a strike length of approximately 68 kilometres, 10 of which (one underground and nine open-pittable) were subjected to a National Instrument 43-101 technical report in 2014 prepared for Tamerlane Ventures Inc. The lead-zinc mineralized trends begin 42 kilometres east of Hay River, NWT, and have been identified over an 86-kilometre distance to the northeast. The property holds considerable potential to expand the life of the mine. As provided in the 2014 report, several of the remaining 32 deposits have historical grade and tonnage, which make them potential additions to a long-term mine plan. Furthermore, large portions of the property on the favourable trends remain unexplored. A geophysical survey conducted by Tamerlane in 2005 outlined 34 untested anomalies, using electromagnetic and magnetic surveys, none of which have been drill tested. To fully understand the summary information set out above, the summary technical report that is filed on SEDAR should be read in its entirety.
John Key, mining engineer and qualified person under NI 43-101, reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information presented in this press release.
